Setting Records Cycling in Antarctica - Eric Larsen

As fewer mountains remain unclimbed and "extreme" adventures becoming more difficult and dangerous, people drawn to these quests have to get creative in their expeditions of choice. Cold-weather adventurer and avid bicycler Eric Larsen joined two of his loves and decided to ride a fat-tired cycle 750 miles from Hercules Inlet to the geographic South Pole. The riding proved nearly impossible, as his bike regularly punctured the hard snow crust, but Larsen still set an Antarctic record, riding 335 miles.
